So this will mostly focus on Kid Flash's reaction. Obviously Aqualad and Speedy will have some form of response, but I did want to give Wally some spotlight, since he is Dick's Best friend and will have at least one more appearance. Also, everyone is going to be going by their superhero name (I'll admit I almost put Wally at least once).

"Maybe it's not all that bad." Speedy attempted to reason.

"You're joking, right?" Kid Flash commented. "There's no way this is anything short of bad."

As mentioned, Speedy, Kid Flash, and Aqualad had been brought to Mount Justice. While they were all understandably confused about the current status of their vanishing friend, Speedy attempted to stay optimistic.

They had gathered in the sparring room, their mentors and Superman all waiting. No one had explained what was going on or why they were there, but Superman confirmed that there was a reason.

"Maybe he got grounded or something." Speedy assumed.

"He can be pretty mischievous at times." Aqualad noted.

"If he got grounded, I would have been the first to know." Kid Flash admitted. "Besides, that wouldn't explain B-man's sudden absence."

The sound of one of the Zeta Tubes caught everyone's attention.

Recognize Batman

Everyone's attention was glued to the direction of the Zeta Tubes. Several moments went by before the dark frame of Batman entered the room. His usual scowl plastered over his face. The first thing he noticed was everyone's curiosity and concern. The absence of Robin didn't help the situation either.

He wasn't too fond with being there, but after sitting on Superman's words, he could agree that they needed to know what was going on. He took a deep, agitated breath, forcing himself to tackle the elephant in the room.

"It has been brought to my attention that you have some questions about Robin's recent disappearance." Bruce stated. "For the last week, I've tried to come to terms with it myself. Due to some complications in his personal life, Robin will no longer be with us."

Shock was the common trend between them. All the while, the adults, minus Superman, were surprised on differing leveled. Flash appeared the least surprised, but he did feel bad for, not only Batman, but Kid Flash as well. Green Arrow was surprised. Aquaman was probably the most surprised. He hadn't been too invested with the issue outside of Batman's absence, so this information was unexpected.

Kid Flash, Speedy, and Aqualad, on the other hand, were floored by the declaration. Aqualad was speechless by the revelation, but at the same time he had a sense of sympathy for the two. Speedy, though shocked, was physically agitated, throwing out a few choice words at the situation. Not wanting Speedy to do something he'd regret, Green Arrow had to step in to help calm him down. Kid Flash, on the other hand, was angry and confused. He didn't like this revelation, even if he had a malicious feeling for Robin's disappearance. He was not about to leave it at that either.

"What do you mean he's not with us?" Kid Flash questioned.

"A family issue came up and he's had to quit in order to handle it."

"But you're his family. What kind of family problems could have happened that would require his removal?"

Knowing that Batman wasn't going to elaborate on it much further, Flash took his nephew aside. Superman had thankfully given him a bit of a heads up ahead of time. Given Robin and Kid Flash's close friendship, it was an appreciated warning. It also prevented Kid Flash from pandering Batman with any of the initial shock. Something that everyone could appreciate.

"You know how Batman had taken Robin in, in order to protect him from his parents' killer?" Flash reminded, placing a hand on Kid Flash's shoulder.

"Yeah." Kid Flash confirmed.

"Well, he hadn't officiated Robin's adoption yet, wanting to wait for the right time. However, as it turns out that he had family that was previously unable to take him in when his parents died."

Kid Flash was hurt by the information. Not just for himself, but for Batman as well. It not only stung that his best friend had been ripped away from him, but he could only imagine what it was like for Robin's mentor and father. With all the talk of how Robin loved and respected Batman, it was unheard of that someone separated the two, on a loose technicality. It was suspicious.

"That's not fair." Kid Flash spat.

"I know." Flash agreed.

Kid Flash's attention shifted to Batman. The vigilante appeared lost in everyone's reaction as Aquaman had even confronted his protégé about it. Without warning, he bolted over to Batman. Flash didn't even try to stop him, knowing that Kid Flash had something of value to say.

It was a little startling to Bruce when the yellow and red blur stopped in front of him. Green eyes burned through his mask, ready to burn a hole through the problem.

"Something about this doesn't feel right." Kid Flash blatantly stated. "Unknown relatives popping out of nowhere wanting to take him now. It's not right. I may not be the world's greatest detective, but something tells this is wrong. If I suspect that that, then you must too. Maybe you're grieving is blocking it, but deep down, I know you find this at least somewhat suspicious."

Kid Flash's annoyance was apparent as his arms frantically flailed out during his speech. His dismay wouldn't go unnoticed as everyone's attention now fell on the teen speedster. Batman was impressed by his determined argument. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to waver Batman's grieving disappointment.

"Look, I'm thankful for you friendship with Robin," Batman admitted, "but it's over."

"You don't mean that."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry."

Kid Flash took a few steps back. Any sympathy that he had left was replaced with bitter annoyance.

"There has to be something you can do. You are all he has and he loves you. Why don't you want to protect that?"

"That's where I'm stepping in." Flash blurted out, popping up next to his nephew.

He could tell that Kid Flash was treading on thin ice and it wouldn't be long before Kid Flash said something he would regret. Flash grabbed him and removed him from the situation, immediately vacating from the base.

Just to reiterate, if you think Wally's reaction sounds like it's came a little early, this is going to be a smaller multichapter fic. And considering how the next two chapters will pick up on Dick sneaking out for patrol and George contacting Bruce, it's not that unreasonable.
